Recognition

I never expected to become such a decorated LEGO builder. I mean, I knew some of my stuff was... different... but it wasn't BIG, which is what tends to wow the crowds. All the same, it's nice to know that my efforts haven't been in vain. Ever since I entered my microscale Portland in 2014 I've won at least one award per year at Bricks Cascade. In 2021 was the COVID friendly Bricknic where no awards were given. 2022 was the only year where I didn't gain any recognition (but my building mojo was off and I totally expected to win nothing).

After COVID I noticed that several builders started leaving little tokens on each others' builds. I started receiving a few of these as well.
